A few weeks ago, the italian manufacturer of miniatures, Kabuki Models, contacted me. They had seen my work online and they were interested in it. They asked me if I was interested to paint the box art of some of their news. And as I found an interesting project, I accepted.This is the first figure in this series of miniatures. It’s a cyborg girl, from their 21st Centuy Pin-upsrange.The figure is 35mm tall, and has been sculpted by Patrick Masson and designed by Aurelio Lecis. It comes in a high cuality resin and the sculpture is really awesome. Although pictures do not look it, is really small and thin.The color scheme was a request from Kabuki, which ask me to follow the Lecis’ desing, but forcing the old, rusted and ancient machine effect. But in my opinion gives to many other versions of color!

Cos’ I haven’t finished the Albanian chieftain yet and I need a breath, I decided to paint something else to clear my head. So I decided to paint the Special Edition’s Games Day miniature, the Skaven Warlord.

After the World Expo and what they thought the days before, needed to regain a bit of tone painting something fun and relax. Recently I’d discovered the Skavens that, like the SpaceWolves, are very interesting for me.

So I painted this rat to have a good time and trying to make a color scheme different than the usual we see in this line of figures.

The Rider, the figure that won gold in the 40k category of vehicle, was an old project. Maybe it began in 2007, but was a half turn and half-forgotten in a drawer. It was a week before the GD I decided to try and bring to a successful finish.

The base of the figure is the bike of the Master of the Ravenwings. I tried to expose the motor everything I could. The rest was just adding small details of the Space Wolves or applications of putty. Find the pilot’s body and the suit was easier.

Today I bring you another entry of the GD 2011. In this case it’s the Skaven Warlord, who won gold in the Single Fantasy category.

This is an amazing transformation (although it’s more a sculpture almost complete) by Hugo Gómez “Vindicare” who modeled it for the latest Italian GD edition in 2010, but for reasons of time I couldn’t paint it. So I went back this year.

It’s based on the codex’s cover of the Skaven army, design by Alex Boyd. And although the original idea was to use the same color scheme in the illustration, I abandoned this idea because the colors didn’t work as in the picture with more background elements than the single piece in 3D. So I chose a color scheme based on a magnificent work of Sebastian Archer “Automaton“.

And a little more to add. I leave photos of the modeling and painting. I hope you like!
